The '''SPNKR-x17 Surface-Surface Missile Launcher''' is the one of the last weapons obtained by the [[Security Officer]], and most powerful weapon used by the Security Officer during the Battle of Tau Ceti. | |||
== Design details == | |||
This shoulder mounted rocket launcher holds two Surface-to-Surface High Explosive rockets in each tube. It fires its payload at at a velocity of 110 m/s, with an effective range of 2500 meters. | |||
The blast radius of these rockets is 10 meters.<ref>[http://archives2.bungie.org/manuals/Marathon_Manual.pdf ''Marathon'' (1994), Marathon Manual, page 16]</ref> | |||
== Legacy == | |||
The SPNKR used aboard the ''UESC Marathon'' would go on to inspire Durandal's own variant, the SPNKR-XP SSM Launcher.<ref>[https://marathon.bungie.org/story/_files/Marathon_2_Manual.pdf ''Marathon 2: Durandal'', Marathon 2 Manual, page 16]</ref> | |||
The | ==Trivia== | ||
* The SPNKR name would go on to be used for a series of rocket launchers in Halo, although its design would be based on the ''Marathon 2: Durandal'' and ''Marathon Infinity'' variant instead of the design used in the first ''Marathon'' game. | |||
* The original SPNKR was nicknamed the Lazyboy as its missiles 'sit' in the launcher, but the nickname did not stick in the later next two games as the design changed. | |||
* The weapon appears in Colony Ship for Sale, Cheap! but is not accessible.<ref>[https://marathon.bungie.org/spoiler/m1/13.shtml Marathon Spoiler Guide]</ref> | |||
